Description
Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon is set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1758 Europe. As the Seven Years War rages on, London's intrigue and deception simmer just below the surface. Lord John Grey, a nobleman and high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, finds himself entangled in a clandestine love affair and a deadly family secret. Seventeen years after his father's mysterious death, the family name has been redeemed, but an impending marriage threatens to revive the scandal. As Whitehall whispers spread, Lord John knows that rumors can be deadly, leading innocent men to the gallows of Newgate prison. With danger lurking around every corner, from barracks and parade-grounds to battlefields in Prussia, Grey must navigate treacherous passions and forbidden secrets. In this compelling adventure mystery, eighteenth-century Europe comes alive with startling authenticity. The enigmatic Jacobite prisoner Jamie Fraser holds a crucial key to Lord John's quest for the truth, set against the stark beauty of the Lake District's stony fells.
